It may all start with seeing a pretty dress or cool jacket in a charity shop but anyone who appreciates all things vintage will also end up amounting some pretty useless, but totally awesome crap for a dollar or 2, my trawl around the car boot today was fun, and found some amazing vintage bits and bobs-like this 'food
glamorizer' (is
glamourizer a real word?) with full instructions on how to decorate your
potatoes with a h
arlequin design (using fancy cutter no.7)! From now on eating food that is not striped or has a
zig-zag edge will just be so dull...
Some nifty little spring up opera glasses in a case and a little salt container my sewing stuff will live in.
Got some interesting clothing too, just need to photograph all that but a group of very old velvet jackets, several 50s/60s dresses and an interesting George Gross purple leather 1980s (and nothing gets as 80s as this) dress. I have a feeling that it will make me look like a very convincing
transvestite but I
don't care
because its the most ridiculous dress and I like being loud and eccentric.
Thanks for sharing your vintage Sunday finds which are definitely not tat :)
